Oh god, why must you remind me

The BMW was worse from what I remember - the wireless CarPlay would disconnect about 20 minutes into nearly every other drive. Turning the Wi-Fi toggle off and back on temporarily fixed it, but only for another 20 minutes or so. I often had to park the car and get back in to get a more stable connection.

The FK8’s wired CarPlay at least kept my phone charged, and most issues were resolved by simply unplugging and reconnecting the phone or resetting the head unit.

I'm glad both experiences are behind me now
